BOTTLE ALL

Martinis You Can Bring to the Beach

A (clearly brilliant) Chicago-based duo just launched a line of bottled martinis, comprised of a few
classics and two award-winning infusion-based concoctions. Let’s weigh the pros and cons. Pros: you can
now bring martinis to the beach or your next picnic. Cons: you’re running out of excuses to not have that
picnic.

It’s Like Brunch. But at Night.

And now, a brief philosophical interrogation of Southport & Irving’s late-night brunch. Question: if
brunch happens from 10pm to 1am, is it still brunch? Answer: if we assume that it includes cheddar biscuits
with rabbit confit gravy and chimichurri hanger steak, then yes, it’s still brunch. Hey, facts are facts.

BART APPRECIATION

The Writers from The Simpsons and You

This weekend is The Onion and The A.V. Club’s annual comedy festival. It’s fun. And funny. And you
should go and attend the intimate panel featuring a handful of writers from The Simpsons. You’ll
know you’re in the right place if there’s a bunch of people who wrote The Simpsons also there.

RIVERWALK THIS WAY

The Riverwalk’s First Tiki Shack

You’ve probably heard that the city has a $100 million plan to revitalize the Riverwalk... Related: a
pop-up tiki bar known as the Island Party Hut just opened at the Riverwalk with a spacious patio, tropical
rum-based cocktails and all sorts of warm-weather snacks. Strong start, revitalization plan. Very strong.
